Pokémon: Having just completed the Pokédex, I'm now traversing the world of Beast Taming.

"You wanted to kill me right away?"

"dream!"

The thin man's voice was even hoarser than the hoarse voice that Chi Hong was deliberately putting on.

The space beside Lucario trembled slightly, and a sharp claw extended, grabbing straight for Lucario's neck.

The pet beast hadn't even fully emerged from its pet space when it launched its attack!

Lucario's eyes glowed bright red. He was actually a little surprised. According to the normal stress level of a human neck, the skinny guy should have died instantly with his casual superpower chokehold!

But in fact, not only was the skinny guy not defeated, he also summoned his pet beast to fight against Lucario!

Frightened Claw Beast: Level 71.

Attribute: Dark.

Characteristics: Healing is weakened, resulting in slower wound healing.

"Boxer briefs! Boxer briefs!"

"Too weak-willed!"

All the people heard was this assassin, who called himself Crimson, uttering strange words while raising his hand and waving it!

"Crack!"

Lucario also waved at the skinny man's hand, not only shaking off the hand that was gripping his wrist from the monster, but also using his psychic powers to throw the skinny man away, sending him crashing into the wall so hard that he saw stars!

"Close combat, finish it off instantly!" Chi Hong whispered.

The Frightened Claw Beast was furious to see its tamer being attacked and immediately prepared to attack!

Lucario instantly rushed into its arms!

The speed was so fast that this pet, whose main strength was high agility, couldn't react in time!

Abandoning defense, charge into the opponent's arms and inflict devastating damage on the target!

This is close combat!

Chi Hong decided to kill this guy instantly to increase his deterrent effect on the other assassins to a certain extent!

"Bang bang bang!"

Three loud thuds of fists striking flesh rang out, and blood was already seeping from the corner of the Frightened Claw Beast's mouth.

Its first reaction was that it was no match for its opponent!

According to what Chi Hong knows, Dark is the counterpart to Dark, and Fighting-type moves are effective against Dark!

Even if you're a few levels higher, one close-quarters attack would normally be enough to kill you!

Moreover, this Frightclaw has a base stat total that is more than 100 points lower than Lucario's!

In this situation, with Lucario getting close, there's absolutely no way out for it!

"Crack!"

After Lucario delivered three quick punches, it grabbed Clawmon's head with both hands and slammed it down hard, then slammed its knee into Clawmon's head with a burst of energy!

The Claw Beast let out a mournful cry, then Lucario grabbed its head and threw it out, smashing through the window and landing on the street outside.

The already sparsely populated street was startled by the pet that had suddenly fallen and was covered in blood, and the remaining passersby quickly moved away.

"Oh? They've started fighting!"

At the entrance of the law enforcement agency nearby, two law enforcement officers, each holding a cup of coffee, watched with great interest the motionless Claw Beast on the road.

Chi Hong showed no mercy, and Lucario's attack was as ruthless as ever!

Unlike the regular Pokémon world, if I weren't stronger than them, in any life-or-death battle I had encountered before, their Pokémon would have devoured me alive!

This is not a regular Pokémon battle, but a brutal battle between Beastmasters, a life-or-death struggle. Losing almost certainly means death!

"Killed in an instant... in an instant?"

The woman wearing a sun hat looked utterly shocked!

At the same time, everyone understood one thing!

It seems the person in question has come looking for them!

They killed an A-level pet beast in a single encounter. They had previously planned to work together to deal with this assassin named Crimson.

"Friend, there might be some misunderstanding here..."

With no time to mourn for his strongest pet beast, the gaunt man immediately tried to use his persuasive skills to save his own life!

As soon as he finished speaking, Lucario jumped in front of him. Looking at the tall pet with its fierce eyes, the gaunt man lost even the courage to summon the rest of his pets.

"I......"

Before the gaunt man could say anything more, Chi Hong's cold voice interrupted him.

"Kill him."

Three words brought the emaciated man's despair to its peak!

Lucario raised his finger, and a Dark Pulse instantly pierced through the man's head, creating a large hole in the wall behind him!

Chi Hong turned his head and stared at a petite figure with a tense expression, wearing a cartoon plastic mask. He slowly walked over and then raised his hand to summon Casey.

Casey reached out her small hand and instantly moved the emaciated man's corpse to another location. Within one minute of a Beastmaster's death, his pet space will collapse, and the pets within the pet space will enter a state of being ownerless. Losing a Beastmaster will cause pets with high loyalty to enter a state of hatred.

Due to the mental shock caused by the collapse of the pet space, even if the pet's loyalty is not high, it will enter a berserk state for a period of time after leaving the pet space!

At that moment, the emaciated man's body suddenly appeared in the law enforcement bureau not far from the small building, and the staff who were carrying out their daily work were stunned for a few seconds.

"Aaaaaah!!"

Then, accompanied by a scream, the hall immediately descended into chaos!

The two law enforcement officers who were drinking coffee at the entrance also noticed something amiss, and they entered the lobby with furrowed brows.

The gaunt man's pet space has collapsed, and four pets in a frenzied state are destroying everything in their sight.

"......."

"Let's make our move first. We can't let those four pets go out and cause trouble for passersby. If they cause any problems, we'll lose our bonus this month, and we might even get reported..."

One of the law enforcement officers, looking helpless, summoned his pet beast.

Although it's a small town, it's still a law enforcement agency, a violent law enforcement body in the town, and has many beast tamers who can fight.

Dealing with four berserk pets shouldn't be a problem if it takes a little time!

Inside the small building, everyone was silent; no one dared to speak, and some people left.

People like them who do part-time jobs are just doing it for the money. They can earn money without taking any risks, but if they do take risks, they have to fight to the death. Normally, no part-time assassin would do that.

The main culprit has already arrived, and with such formidable strength, if we don't leave soon and get targeted, who knows what might happen?

"Are you that dead guy's middleman?" Chi Hong asked, squatting down in front of the man wearing a cartoon mask.

The reason I'm crouching down is because this looks like a child!

She was standing to the side at some point, watching him intently. Although she was wearing a mask, Chi Hong was certain that the small face beneath the mask was staring at him!

"Yes...yes..."

The moment the sound came out, Chi Hong frowned; it was indeed a little girl!

"crimson!"

"Forget about kids! This little girl was probably just fooled..."

Lu Yao immediately came over and grabbed Chi Hong's arm.

Chi Hong remained unmoved and said coldly, "You don't even believe what you're saying yourself."

"Are there ordinary people who can act as intermediaries in assassination organizations?"

Lu Yao was immediately speechless. There was nothing she could do; Chi Hong's words made sense.

"I'll transfer all the money to you! The account is with me, and I... I'm not a beast tamer!"

"Furthermore..."

"Um... if you kill him, you can't kill me, okay..."

The little girl spoke very softly, and her whole body trembled slightly as she spoke, as if she was about to cry from fright!

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept by, and the little girl turned her head slightly, immediately startled and sat down on the ground with a thud.

Just now, one of Lucario's claws was only a hair's breadth away from her temple.

Even so, Chi Hong did not sense any aura from any pet beast.

"Now, transfer the money."

Chi Hong looked at the little girl sitting on the ground, terrified, and said in a low voice.

The little girl immediately took out her phone, and after a few quick actions, the money was deposited into her account!

"Let's go."

After receiving the money, Chi Hong, Casey, and Lu Yao vanished instantly.

Seeing that the assassin Crimson had left, the remaining few breathed a sigh of relief!

"That jinx is finally gone! If he hadn't left, I would have run away too!"

"Thank goodness, we've saved face!"

The burly assassin patted his chest muscles, feeling a wave of lingering fear.

Just as they were about to leave, the door slammed shut.

The little girl stood up, dusted off her skirt, and took off her cartoon mask.

It was a small face covered in heavy gothic makeup, and everyone looked at her with surprise and uncertainty.

Behind her, a beast with a blue face and fangs, practically a demon's pet, gradually materialized!

This demonic pet has always been there!

It's just that no one has noticed; the difference in levels is too great!
